The best way to automate this depends on what platform your server is
running on.  Perhaps it's as simple as running "chmod -R g+s $CVSROOT"
On some platforms you have to first make sure the filesystem is mounted
with the correct options in order to allow this to work.

Though no matter what you do you'll have to always manually ensure the
top-level directories for each project are owned by the appropriate
group.....
